Among The Best Seafood Restaurants in Kittery, Maine

This Weathervane Seafood location remains one of the premiere restaurants in Kittery, Maine—a burgeoning gateway town connecting Southern Maine to the rest of New England. As the oldest incorporated town in Maine, Kittery boasts a wide array of historically significant sites, which in turn drives tourist activity to the numerous outdoor recreation opportunities and retail outlets spread throughout this small town of less than 10,000.

Conveniently located immediately off I-95, our Kittery, Maine location is only a short drive from the quaintness of Kittery Foreside, a growing hub of arts, culture and cuisine and York; another pristine Maine community known for its beautiful beaches and tourism related activities. Directly across the street from our Route 1 location is the Kittery Trading Post, an outdoor retailer since 1938, and over 120 major retail outlet stores.

In addition to our family-owned restaurant, the community of Kittery features plenty of significant sites and installations; such as the 200-year old Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, which is one of four remaining naval shipyards in the nation. Visitors and residents alike enjoy walking through Fort McClary, a former defensive fortification used primarily throughout the 19th century, and Fort Foster, a historic fort named after American Civil War-Era Major General John G. Foster.

Today, the remnants of fishing, shipbuilding, and other marine-related industries that were once the center of Kittery’s economy, are still very evident. Residents gather annually to recognize Kittery’s place in history — whether it be during the annual Memorial Day Parade or the Kittery Block Party, an annual gathering that celebrates local art, culture and food and fosters lasting relationships and strengthens community in a fun neighborhood atmosphere.

While fresh seafood is certainly not a rare find around these parts, Weathervane remains one of the only restaurants in Kittery, Maine to offer a menu that features generous portions for a great price. Be sure to stop in the next time you’re in town.
